As everyone before me says...it is a beautiful shot. I fear how this area must look now. The news coverage here in the UK is extensive. Hopefully, a follow-up shot will share good news. (I like your remarks about replying to comments. Nicely put.)

Visiting you from NaBloPoMo, I am doing it too in November! Beautiful photos! I love NYC, and it's just horrible to read or see the news with so much damage done to the city by the storm! Happy blogging!

Love this shot and would like to be that man with the hat on. Well, I'd like to be that man if he were a woman and also pre-Sandy. This rambling comment brought to you by the need for sleep. So glad you came out on the other side of the storm OK.

Beautiful shot! That traditional boat (blue trim - is that a blue maple leaf?) is gorgeous. Breaks my heart to see and hear about the beating the Big Apple's taken.Hope there are much brighter days ahead for all.
